Attaching smaller hoses to your shop vacuum is useful for cleaning in tight places and hooking up dust collection for portable tools. With this in mind, Club member Charles E. Anderson of Northport, Florida, used his lathe to create an adapter so he can attach a regular house vacuum hose to his wet/dry shop vacuum. If you donít have a lathe, you can use PVC plumbing fittings and sheet plastic to adapt any size hose to your vacuum.
